[Music] Yo, what is up my beautiful people? Here you see we have the RG Lix, and it's at 25 watts. And we already know that it can perform pretty well when it's all the way up at 25 watts in turbo mode. Here you can see we have the Black Myth Wukong benchmark at 1080p low settings, and we're getting an average of 74 FPS. We already know that the RGX can perform well at 25 watts, but what happens when we take that TDP down? What performance can we expect, and what type of setting should we be at to get the best out of our RGX when it's not at 25 watts, pulling the most power that it can in battery mode? So that's what we're going to do today. We're going to take that TDP down, we're going to run the test, and we're going to see what type of performance we can get when we're not pushing 25 watts into this Z1 Extreme. And you can see on

the right here we have one of my favorite smaller devices, the GPD Win Mini. The reason I think this is a good test is because the Win Mini is using the exact same screen as the RG Lix and the RG Li. Of course, it is 1080p, 7 in, 120 Hz. It has that VRR that we love. It is native landscape. I think this is an amazing screen. You already know what it is, this only the RG allies since day one. You know what to expect, but it's great to see it on a handheld that's not coming from one of the big manufacturers like Asus. It's great to see on this. I think this handheld is amazing here. So we're going to drop the TDP. We're going to run the test, and we're going to see what we can do. Now, the first thing we're going to do is we're going to leave turbo mode, and we're going to go into performance mode, which is actually 17 Watts on the RG Lix. Now, I'm going to set

the GPD Win Mini to 17 Watts. As you can see here, it's at 17 watts, and we should be able to run this test and see what we can do at 17 watts. Okay, so the 17-watt 1080p benchmark is finished. RX got a pretty good um 65 FPS, and the GPD Mini just slightly behind at uh 63. So, 65 and 63, pretty good scores here. Now, we're going to take the TDP down to 13 watts. We're going to run the test again, and we're going to see what type of performance we can get when we go down to the solid mod on the RX, which is uh 13 watts. So, let's change the TDP, run the test again, and see what the performance we can get all the way down at 13 watts here. So, I'm not changing any settings. I'm going to just run the benchmark again and see what type of performance we can get. Okay, so the 13-watt test is finished, and we did see a pretty steep uh dip in

performance rgx got an average of 43 FPS, and the g dpd when mini is slightly behind 1 FPS less at 42 FPS. So, we're seeing the performance really take a hit. Now, going from 17 to 13 Watts, only four Watts difference, but we're seeing around 20 FPS less, which is a pretty significant margin of decrease. So, we're going to go down to 10 watts. I'm going to set a custom 10-watt TDP on the RG Li X. Then, we're going to go to 10 Watts on the GPD win menu, and we're going to see what we can get at 720p. So, let's change the resolution and run the Benchmark at 10 watts. Okay, so now we are at 10 watt 720p, as you can see there. Let's run the Benchmark and see what type of performance we can get all the way down at 10 watts. Okay, so right off the bat, it looks like at 10

wat 720p. We seem to be matching the, uh, 13 wat 1080p test. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, but it looks like, just from the, like, just a preliminary um start of the Benchmark, we're getting around, like, you know, in the mid-40s, mid to low 40s at um 720p low settings. So, it depends if it's worth it to go down to 10 uh 720p and 10 watts to get the same frame rate as uh 1080p 13 Watts. I'm not sure if it's um, if it's worth the loss in resolution just to get the same frame rate because it's not like we're getting much more FPS, so it kind of justifies the um slightly extended battery life we could get um, but anyway, we'll see how the results end up turning out. Okay, so the Benchmark is finished and it looks like we are pretty much getting the same FPS um at 720p 10 watts that we were getting

at 1080p, 13 Watts. I'm not sure it's worth it, so leave a comment down below if you think it's worth it to get the same performance, um, you know, as far as FPS goes, that you do at 1080p, 13 watts. When you go down to 720p, 10 watts, I was expecting to get a little bit more FPS, maybe around like 55. I was expecting to get 720p low settings, but we're in the like the low 40s here, so I'm not sure if it's worth it, so let me know in the comments down below. The thing about when you go to all the way down to 10 watts, the GPU cannot really, you know, the clock speeds are pretty low. The clock speeds are around 800 to 900 MHz, so that's really going to impede your, you know, GPU performance, especially in a graphical game like this. We really need that, um, that extra little bit of juice for the GPU course to really, uh, get going, so

It may not be worth it to go all the way down to 10 watts on a game like this, but for Indie Games, hey, go right ahead. You can run those at 10 watts all day, but this was more about like a heavy graphical game, you know, seeing, you know, whatever battery life you can squeeze out and what performance you can expect, you know, with that sort of tradeoff, with, you know, extending battery life in mind. So, as you see, I would say 13 watts may be the lowest you want to go for a game like this, and then maybe you do 13 watts and then go to 720p. That could be a good sort of middle ground where you can get sort of more FPS, and also you can extend your battery life. So, that's sort of the takeaway I get from this test is, you know, 13 watts, 720p, low settings. You should be able to get decent FPS and still get good battery life. Now, before I let you guys go, I want to give you a few

thoughts on these two devices here that seem pretty different. Now, at the beginning of this video, I talked about how these displays are pretty much the same. We have 1080p, 7 in, 120 HZ, um, vrr, native landscape, you know what it is. And I guess side by side, they do kind of look very similar, um, both at uh, 50% brightness. And the GPD wi mini is just like so compact, right? When I close this up, you can see like just how small it is compared to rgx. Now, I have this grip on the back here. Without the grip, you can like put this into a pocket. Like this is the entire device here, and it's very compact, very small. I think it is like the best uh, small 7-in device because it's really compact. You have the performance, as you can see here. It rivals the RNG Lix, so you get in that same sort of performance that you would expect from, you know, a top-of-the-line handheld, you know, in

today's you know Market. I do really like it now. It wins as far as portability. It matches the screen, so it has those great aspects. Now, where it sort of falls short is the controls. As you can see here, we have these low-profile sticks here, and it's not the best as far as stick travel. You can see RG Li X has much more travel here on that stick. It is like almost a full Xbox size stick here. This is more akin to like a Nintendo Switch size, but slightly more travel than a Joy-Con. But as far as the triggers and buttons go, I do like the triggers. They don't move so much. They are pretty small compared to like the RGX, as you can see here, much larger triggers. But I have no problem with these triggers. They have good enough travel for like racing games to get that fine-tune throttle control, so no problems there. Buttons feel good. Now, the actual face buttons are small, but they are, you know,

I have no issues with them. They're very clicky, um, they feel good to press, they have a good mechanism. Same goes with the um, the d-pad here, and it's very reminiscent of the um, the PlayStation or PlayStation Vita. I don't know if you ever had that or seen it, but very reminiscent of the PlayStation Vita. If you look very closely, I'm not sure if my camera would even capture, but if you look closely, you can see on the top of the buttons there in the right-hand corner, we have the um, the X, circle, triangle, and square from the PlayStation. I think it is amazing. The little easter egg in there is pretty dope. But like I said, portability is top-notch. You're not going to beat the GPD Win Mini as far as portability goes for a 7-inch handheld. There's nothing else like it. Performance is right up there with the best of the best. You've seen it hanging with the RG351 like good 2 to 2. The d-pad actually does

Feel good. Very clicky, very solid. Never have any issues with the d-pad. And then, of course, you have a full trackpad and keyboard for Windows navigation. And to me, that's an underrated feature. Having a full keyboard for typing in, you know, names and passwords and things like that for games. And then a full trackpad that works, you know, wherever you are in the system. This trackpad is going to work and is great for navigation. I just love having a trackpad for Windows navigation. It just really does, you know, make the experience, you know, much more intuitive and enjoyable just to have that trackpad there. The keyboard is great. I think the Win Mini is an overall great device. I cannot say enough good things about it. The only thing that it lacks, in my opinion, is like the joysticks. But other than that, you can really, you know, you can get used to the lower travel. I'm not going to, like, excuse the lower travel and say it's better than a full-size joystick. It

will never be better than a full-size joystick, and I'm not going to sit and lie to you and try to make it seem like it's better than it is. It does sort of like make a tradeoff to give you that Ultra portability, but as far as like, for example, I say in like FPS games, you really want more travel to get a little bit more Precision, because this is like all you're working with, this tiny little motion. But the way I sort of combat that is I use the gyro aiming in FPS games, and then I can actually move the device and get better aiming. It really does improve the overall experience, so I really can't complain. I get the gyro aiming for better aiming Precision in FPS games. I got the ultimate portability. It has great performance. I just ran the test again by mistake, got 43 FPS, so it's right up 350 RG, 1 FPS less. This is an all-around great device, you guys. It's

definitely for a different person, so I wouldn't say like these two are direct competitors. Because if you're looking at the Lix, you're really looking at like a mainstream, um, you know, mainstream Mainline handheld. It's just a great handheld. You want just a handheld that has a, you know, great design, um, good all-around controls and buttons. This is the type of device you get when you just want a great handheld. Now, the GPD Win Mini is for the people that want a little bit something more, something special. You have that trackpad, you have the keyboard. You just want a little bit more out of your device. Maybe you're using it as like a, uh, a, uh, sort of like a weekend laptop replacement. You may need to do some productivity emails. Now, you're definitely not going to want to type out an essay on this, or maybe you're crazy. You may want to type out an essay on this, but I find it's better for like thumb typing. I mean, for my large hands, I can reach the entire keyboard with both

of my thumbs, so it is reminiscent of like um, like an old school like Blackberry or something like that um, where you had like that nice keyboard. It does feel good um, the buttons and everything is great, but I think these two devices are for two totally different people. I don't even think that they really compete, so if you're looking at the rgx, I don't even think you're really considering the win mini, and if you're considering the win mini, then the rgx is probably not even in your sort of um, consideration. They are two very different devices, but I really do think that they are both great in their own way. But in my mind, this is like the best small um, handheld right now. Very compact, great performance um, just a great overall device, and you really can't go on with this here. But anyway, that's the low wattage performance uh, test um, like I said, you know, leave a comment down below if you would even consider going that low, especially on the rgx. All that battery do even have to

go that low, um, but let me know in the comments down below. And as always, like, subscribe, ring that bell, all that great YouTube stuff, and I'll catch you guys in the next video. Check out that carbon fiber skin I got on there, pretty cool, pretty sh.
